You can significantly reduce swimming pool heating costs by installing a solar pool heater. They're cost competitive with both gas and heat pump pool heaters, and they have very low annual operating costs. Actually, solar pool heating is one of the most cost-effective use of solar energy in some climates. How They Work A superb low cost and efficient solution for heating your above ground or in ground swimming pool during the Summer months, Swimming Pool Solar Matting will raise your pool temperature to a comfortable and optimum temperature in the months when you’ll likely be looking to enjoy time in your swimming pool the most. Shown below is the minimum and optimum number of rolls required. For above ground swimming pools we have reduced the amount of solar collectors by 20% to allow for heat absorption through the steel wall structure. PoolSolar solar matting ideally should be positioned facing the sun as much as possible and ideally 30 degrees (above horizontal) facing south, and as a general rule, maximum working pressure shouldn’t be above 1.5 BAR (22 psi).

At an affordable price, the SolarisKit S400 pool heater is easy to assemble and install. This is the smallest design out of all the solar pool heaters, yet it is very efficient. Its prismatic design means that it can collect sunlight at all times of the day, and like the evacuated tube, works in cloudy climates too. It can easily be connected to most types of swimming pools, and you will not need to hire a professional to install a SolarisKit system. The unique, prismatic design is unlike anything on the market. In a nutshell, the Solar Matting is pre-fitted to PVC manifolds which are connected to each other (and must be plumbed directly to the swimming filtration plant). Water is pumped from the pool, passed through the filtration plant and then moved through strips of E.P.D.M Quality P.V.C Solar Matting which absorb heat from the suns rays, thus suitably heating up the water of your pool as it passes through. I've not got around to covering them with clear plastic or even better glass which always makes solar collectors work better due to limiting losses due to wind and light rain showers.... I so impressed with these cheap mats I am going to make a clear cover for them on top of my garage where they can live out the summer.

Intex Pool Heating Eco-Friendly Solar Mat,120.02 x 120.02 x 1

Intex Pool Solar Mat is a swimming pool heating system that uses environmentally friendly solar energy to heat up above ground swimming pools. Can increase the water temperature with approximately 3-5 Celsius degrees (PLEASE NOTE: Heating performance varies depending on weather and ambient conditions. Works only if it is sunshine, will perform best in the summer months. Most of the heat is lost at night time, so using a pool solar cover will help reducing the heat loss). Easy to drain, easy to store. Simple hook up, compatible with filter pump water flow rate less than 5,678 litres / hour (1,249 gallons / 1,500 US gallons - see table below), for pumps with higher flow rate, an additional bypass system can be used to reduce the flow (not included). 3 x 1 square meters (11 square feet) surface to absorb the sun's rays. Constructed of heavy duty UV stabilized PVC. Suitable for above ground pools up to 6,600 gallons 8,000 US gallons (30,280 litres). Dimensions 1 pcs flat, before fill 47" x 47" (120cm x 120cm). Includes 3 x 1.25" (32mm) hose attachment points, 3 x adaptor A and B for 1.5" (38mm) hose connection, 3 x 0.5m (1.25"/32mm diameter) connecting hose, 3 x Bypass valve, 15 x hose clamp. Box of three solar mats.Again, like the evacuated tube, they require an installer to install, not ideal for a smaller sized swimming pool. This type of heater must be firmly fixed at a certain angle (dependant on your location); they are usually installed on a roof. Installation costs will again be an issue, this system must also be installed by a professional.

Glazed collector systems are generally made of copper tubing on an aluminum plate with an iron-tempered glass covering, which increases their cost. In colder weather, glazed collector systems—with heat exchangers and transfer fluids—capture solar heat more efficiently than unglazed systems.

Basically, the surface area of your solar collector should equal 50%–100% of the surface area of your pool. In cooler and cloudier areas, you may need to increase the ratio between the collector area and the pool surface area. Adding collector square footage also lengthens the swimming season. If you have a garden pool around 12 foot in diameter two of these (run in series) will raise the temperature by enough to make it comfortable. It will need a decent pump (look at the ones that Machine Mart sell) and not the flimsey things that come with the pools. Also use a sand filter not the paper filter things that are useless. The way the mats are constructed means that there are weak spots around the entry and exit points, keep a repair kit handy for when it happens. You will also need a few metres of 32mm flex tubing (and hose clips) to connect pool, mats and pump.

There are 2 options you can have with the solar matting, the first one is 'Box A' the second is 'Box B' Poolsolar will not be liable for consequential damages to you home or other equipment, loss of time, inconvenience or loss of use of the solar collector. Solar pool heater collectors should be oriented geographically to maximize the amount of daily and seasonal solar energy that they receive. In general, the optimum orientation for a solar collector in the northern hemisphere is true south. However, recent studies have shown that, depending on your location and collector tilt, your collector can face up to 45º east or west of true south without significantly decreasing its performance. You'll also want to consider factors such as roof orientation (if you plan to mount the collector on your roof), local landscape features that shade the collector daily or seasonally, and local weather conditions (foggy mornings or cloudy afternoons), as these factors may affect your collector's optimal orientation.
